unwind deferred: Use SRCU unwind_deferred_task_work()
Instead of using the callback_mutex to protect the link list of callbacks
in unwind_deferred_task_work(), use SRCU instead. This gets called every
time a task exits that has to record a stack trace that was requested.
This can happen for many tasks on several CPUs at the same time. A mutex
is a bottleneck and can cause a bit of contention and slow down performance.
As the callbacks themselves are allowed to sleep, regular RCU cannot be
used to protect the list. Instead use SRCU, as that still allows the
callbacks to sleep and the list can be read without needing to hold the
callback_mutex.
